Fostering Low-Carbon Cities at the Delta Green Building Exhibition -
the Largest Environmental Education Exhibition at EcoMobility World Festival & Congress 2017

Kaohsiung, Oct. 1, 2017 —The Delta Green Building Exhibition, the largest environmental education exhibition at EcoMobility World Festival & Congress 2017, was inaugurated today with an official ceremony held at the Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The exhibition, held under the theme “Green Living & Low-Carbon Transportation”, integrates the green building concept with eco-friendly transportation. Several multimedia applications, such as the world's first super high-brightness 8K-resolution projector, provide audiences with a vivid experience learning about climate change, Delta's green building journey, e-mobility, energy storage, and carbon emissions reduction. The opening ceremony featured a stage play about green buildings with projected illustrations from a children's book “Namasia's Library” performed by two students from the Namasia Ming Chuan Elementary School, a net-zero campus rebuilt by Delta. Key attendees included, Delta Group's founder, Mr. Bruce Cheng; Delta Electronics' chairman, Mr. Yancey Hai; Delta Electronics' CEO, Mr. Ping Cheng; Delta Electronics Foundation's executive director, Ms. Shan-Shan Guo; Kaohsiung City Government Transportation Bureau's director-general, Mr. Ching-Fu Chen, as well as Namasia Ming Chuan Elementary School's principal, Mr. Kuo-Cheng, Wu.

Delta's founder and honorary chairman, Bruce Cheng, said, “The Paris Agreement recognized that enabling sustainable technologies in buildings and transportation is critical for the ultimate goal of containing the global temperature rise to within 2°C. Buildings and transportation account for 19% and 23% of global energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions respectively, and their future energy demand is unlikely to peak soon. Aligned with global carbon reduction trends, Delta's long-term development of building automation, electric vehicle (EV) charging, smart LED lighting, energy storage and other green technologies support the creation of sustainable cities across the planet.”

Mr. Ching-Fu Chen, Kaohsiung City Transportation Bureau's director-general, remarked, “Delta's achievements in CSR are widely recognized. When I visited the Delta Green Building Exhibition at the Grand Palais, Paris, during COP21 in 2015, I was quite impressed, and invited Delta to organize the exhibition in Kaohsiung. I express my sincere gratitude to Delta for participating in EcoMobility World Festival & Congress 2017. Their exhibition is not only the highlight of the festival, but also the largest environmental education exhibition at the festival.”

Ms. Shan-Shan Guo, the curator of the exhibition and executive director of the Delta Electronics Foundation, said, “ Originally, the green building concept entailed the minimization of resource consumption and waste, but expanded further into critical areas like occupants' health and ecological harmony, thus, becoming a broader concept that covers communities and cities. Therefore, our exhibition integrates low-carbon transportation and energy management as well as an enhanced range of multimedia technologies to enable more interaction with our audience. The key highlight of our exhibition will be the astonishing projection from Delta's world-leading high-brightness 8K projector, introducing the first 8K educational documentary produced in collaboration with Japan's NHK Enterprise, showing the beauty of water in Taiwan. We look forward to inspiring the public to cherish our environment.”

The Delta Green Building Exhibition integrates innovative interactive projection technology that immerses visitors into our energy-saving green buildings and e-mobility technology. Delta's edge-blending projection, highly praised by audiences at our previous exhibitions in Paris, Beijing and Taipei, highlights the “Building Harmony with Nature” film which symbolizes Delta's 25 green buildings with the concepts of “Flower as Form”, a “Bug as Neighbor” and a “Stone as Eaves”. Revolutionary augmented reality (AR) technology is also applied in Taiwan's first green building children's storybook “Namasia's Library” to further spark the interest of our audience.

Delta also utilizes Qumi portable projectors from its Vivitek brand to create an interactive edge-blending projection area that introduces its Americas region headquarters building, which achieved net-zero energy status during the month of July 2017. Our laser ultra-short-throw projectors present the building-integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) installed by Delta in the 2009 World Games Main Stadium in Kaohsiung which achieved the world's largest capacity BIPV for a stadium at that time. Another interactive display leverages conductive ink to show younger generations concepts for future electricity grids.

The Delta Green Building Exhibition in Kaohsiung extends beyond green buildings and into low-carbon transportation by featuring Delta's EV Charging Solutions, smart LED lighting and transportation energy management, all of which are integral parts of smart green cities. The “Green Port to Make a Proud City” section of the Exhibition area displays the short film “Kaohsiung Miracle” as well as Delta's state-of-the-art industrial robot arm solution to underscore the contrast between previous and next-generation infrastructure and technology. Lastly, a section presenting low-carbon design and devices used in residential homes demonstrates to visitors that we can all live a green life.
